I am not a huge Camel fan. Their "Snow Goose " has it’s place in my collection, and I like it because of it’s beautiful music. Not because of prog-rock, but because of rare balance: it’s not easy to record beautiful music without selling out in our time! So, "Snow Goose "was one of these rare albums successfuly balancing on that edge.

So, what with "I can see your house from here "? Is this album’s music beautiful? Definitely no. Is there some interesting sounds, new technique, prog-inovations? Are you joking! So, is it progresive rock at all? I am affraid not too much!

So – what do we have as result? Synth- pop -rock with faceless songs? Open flirt with commercial oriented mass-production. Only name, based on old good times?

Can’t recommend this album to no-one. Even pop-production users will find better records for their test.

Mit "If a song could get me you" hat Marit Larson sicher keinen Meilenstein in der Musikwelt bewegt. Aber man kann die CD schön zu einem Glas Rotwein und nem schönen Buch am Abend hören.

Es hört sich alles ähnlich an und ist wenig abwechselungsreich aber in der passenden Stimmung stört das nicht. Die Texte sprechen wohl einem jeden aus dem Herzen, wenn sie auch nicht sehr tiefgreifend sind sondern eher schnell auf den Punkt gebracht. Mich erinnert die Platte etwas an Amy Mc Donald.

I have long been complaining that 2009 has been a year that has left us music lovers bereft of quality music. Now don’t get me wrong–2009 has produced some hummable tunes, but in my honest opinion there have lacked certifiable bangers. Until now.

Nu Jazz pioneers 4Hero have returned with Extensions, a phenomenal album that is slated to drop October 27th. My eardrums are tingling with joy, and my mind keeps telling me that this event is on par with the release of the stellar Leave It All Behind from Foreign Exchange last year. Preview the tracks below and try to pick a favorite–I dare you. Afterwards, peep the tracklisting after the bounce

Knuckles has been pushing house music forward since the ’80s, and the phrase "house music" is even said to have originated from the man himself as a tag to describe the music that he was playing at Chicago’s Warehouse club.

He’s since moved back to his hometown of New York, which was where he found the inspiration to record 2001′s Motivation mix. Unfortunately, the catalyst for that particular mix was the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers on September 11th, but Frankie has decided to follow it up with this year’s Motivation Too release.

Those looking for a more retro mix may be disappointed, as most of Knuckles’ selections are taken from the last ten years of US house, including cuts from Grand High Priest, Michelle Weeks and Timmy Vegas. Tracklist

01. Dr. Gary Gray – Faith 02. Big Brooklyn Red – He Moves 03. Michelle Weeks – A Purpose 04. Deep Swing featuring Toney Jones – Across The Land (Spread Love) 05. Scott Wozniak featuring Dirty Turk – My Light 06. G Club featuring Haze – “Faith (The Shapeshifters Little More Faith Remix) 07. Jon Cutler featuring Jocelyn Brown – One (Morten Trust Dub) 08.

Rob Sayles (Dr Strafe) is the Bristol based DJ/producer who was originally active on the Drum & Bass scene as a DJ/promoter for several years, running a renowned night called Stealth which featured many big name DJs like Bad Company, Ed Rush and Moving Fusion. Having then had his ears opened up to the funkier side of things by acts such as RJD2, Breakestra, Quanitc, Bonobo he began to incorporate all his new favourite sounds and influences into the deeply groovy stew he is now renowned for.

Refocused, Dr Strafe aims to produce modern funk music that tries to add something new or something from other styles of music like breaks, and house, etc as he feels funk can be incorporated into almost any genre of music with fantastic results if it’s done right! Like In The Deal fuses all these influences: contemporary breaks and beats fused with retro movie soundtracks that evoke car chases & bank heist themes, blended with Motown sounds from the 1960′s and 70′s along with retro gaming effects, namely 8-bit Nintendo and C64 style music!

Toeachizown is the sprawling, two-and-a-half hour debut album from Stone’s Throw’s "Ambassador of Funk," Dam-Funk. It is made up of five installments: LAtrik, Fly, Life, Hood, and Sky, to be released throughout the fall of 2009. For this album,

Dam-Funk drew from his influences, from big names like Prince to the little known funk pioneers from his hometown in L.A. His self-proclaimed "electric-space-funk" is produced with analog synths and vintage drum machines, and divided thematically between the volumes of the set — for example, LAtrik got its name because it’s the most "electric" of the five. Clever, no?

"Nonstop fast life/different city every night/no sleep late night." With lyrics like that written on a cell phone at 6 a.m., it’s only appropriate Bad Boy Bill stops in Vegas again, this time at Rehab on July 12.

After two decades as a DJ — “America’s Favorite House DJ” to be exact — BBB is releasing a full-length CD of original material. Simply titled "The Album," the Beatport.com co-founder unleashes his tracks on the masses July 28, though the single “Falling Anthem” is already a club favorite. Will the world be ready for the notorious DJ’s tunes? Las Vegas will get the chance to preview a few of his productions at the Hard Rock pool.

"The Album" is not what one might expect from Bad Boy Bill. On a whole, the tracks are less club-friendly and resemble more rock-esque songs. Almost all selections are heavy on the vocals, light on multi-layered intricacies and sweeping melodic progressions many of his contemporaries are favoring. A punchy electro feel encompasses a good portion of the CD, but then the listener sometimes experiences abrupt genre changes from track to track.

The CD starts off strong on an electro-rock foot with “Do What U Like,” and you can’t go wrong with cowbell. The opening four songs bring to mind Junkie XL’s "Booming Back at You," though BBB’s arrangements are a bit simpler than the Dutch production veteran.

The unexpected variety on "The Album" continues, including a little tribute to Herbie Hancock. BBB’s cover of Hancock’s “Rock It” (complete with BBB’s signature scratching skills) is probably the closest thing to what we’d look forward to from Bill and is one of the highlights of the album. It’s unfortunate the track comes in under three minutes.

One song to put on continuous repeat, though not a floor banger, is “If I Tell You.” Alyssa Palmer’s vocals shine with sad honesty while deep moods balance with delicate guitar on the funky downtempo song.

In actuality, Bad Boy Bill has had quite a bit of assistance from friends on "The Album." Only one track lists him as the sole producer; industry heavyweights JJ Flores and Steve Smooth are all over the album, among other helping hands. Palmer sings on four of the album’s 11 tracks; Johanna Phraze, Alex Peace, Eric Jag and Kid Infinity also appear.

The diversity on "The Album" could have a dual effect on listeners. Some dance music fans might be alarmed or feel it’s a bit ADD for their taste if they’re looking for something similar to his "Bangin’ the Box" mixes. On the other hand, it could help BBB reach a diverse audience base.

Assemblage 23 und Tom Shear: Den Mann hinter dieser Elekronik-Koriphäe muß man wahrhaftig nicht mehr vorstellen, versorgt er die Welt der elektronischen Musik doch nun seit fast zehn Jahren konsequent mit Hits.
Sein neues Album hingegen bedarf ganz besonderer Aufmerksamkeit, denn es handelt sich um weit mehr als nur um sein sechstes reguläres Studioalbum, nein, Compass ist weit mehr als das.

Dieses Album ist eine bedingungslose Präsentation dessen, was Tom Shear nun mal einfach am besten kann: Traumhaft schöne Balladen, gnadenlose Ohrwürmer und Clubhits, die auf der ganzen Welt das Clubvolk zum Tanzen zwingen werden.

Er ist ein Meister seines Faches und besticht auf diesem Album insbesondere dadurch, daß seine Werke einerseits klingen, wie wir uns Assemblage 23 eben wünschen, aber auf der anderen Seite ist da etwas ganz Neues und Frisches. Es macht einfach Spaß, dieses Werk zu hören und Compass in seiner Gesamtheit zu entdecken, es reißt mit und begeistert.

All diese Facetten in Betracht ziehend ist Compass nicht nur für Shears riesige Fangemeinde ein Leckerbissen, sondern auch für diejenigen, die Assemblage 23 bis jetzt noch nicht für sich entdeckt haben.

Spark war bereits ein starker und verheißungsvoller Vorbote, aber wer hätte gedacht, daß Tom Shear mit Compass dann noch derart gnadenlos überwältigen würde. Wer also eingängige, aber dennoch anspruchsvolle elektronische Musik mit Tiefgang liebt, ist hier bestens aufgehoben!
